We proudly announce the latest release of NXLog Platform, version 1.3. This release adds new features and bug fixes, including the ones highlighted below.
Improved installation and configuration
The installation processes for NXLog Platform and NXLog Agent received the following configuration improvements:
You can now configure the NXLog Platform hostname and specify a label when running the NXLog Agent installer to ease automatic enrollment and agent configuration. This configuration is available on Windows, Debian/Ubuntu, Red Hat Enterprise Linux, and macOS.
NXLog Platform on-premises can now be configured during installation to listen on an arbitrary port for incoming agent management connections. The NXLog Platform installer allows importing a custom TLS certificate provided by your own internal or public CA.
Advanced agent filtering
NXLog Platform now provides advanced filtering for finding agents using agent attributes like name, address, ID, operating system, status, and so on. This makes it easier to quickly locate a specific agent, or group of agents, in large agent populations. These attributes can be matched using simple equality, lists, and regular expressions and may be combined using boolean operators and more.
Support for OpenTelemetry
NXLog Agent 6.4 adds initial support for the OpenTelemetry protocol with the new im_otel module. This module allows the collection of logs and traces over both HTTPS and gRPC transport. Future updates will expand this functionality, including support for collecting metrics and an OpenTelemetry output module (om_tel) for sending data.
Support for custom event schemas
The new xm_transform module supports a declarative approach to modifying event structures, simplifying the process of log normalization. The module supports event schemas in JSON format and can work with a fixed or dynamic schema.
New solution packs
This version of NXLog Platform once again expands the list of available solution packs. Solution packs streamline the log collection process, connecting common log sources with the most popular SIEMs. This update introduces support for Google Chronicle, Microsoft Sentinel, and Splunk. For more information, see the complete list of available solution packs.
